Washing Oil Efficiency Test Results for a Cardanol Sulfonate Surfactant

73% oil washing efficiency was achieved using a synthesized mixed cardanol sulfonate surfactant (MYBS). The dataset contains experimental results characterizing the surfactant's properties, including surface tension and micelle size, and its performance in oil washing tests. Author Weiyang Liu published the data on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking surfactant performance based on reported oil washing efficiency and critical micelle concentration (CMC).
• Analyzing the relationship between surfactant structure and thermodynamic parameters based on conductivity measurements.
• Modeling micelle formation and size based on dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy results.

Strengths

• Includes specific, quantified results such as 73% oil washing efficiency and a critical micelle concentration of 0.676 mmol/L.
• Surfactant structure was characterized using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy.
• Data is openly shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
